Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims - lemm.ee

“Temu is designed to make this expansive access undetected, even by sophisticated users,” Griffin’s complaint said. “Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.”

That’s just nuts

Yeah, it is. It’s such an extraordinary claim.

One requiring extraordinary evidence that wasn’t provided.

You’re bang on the money.

If even half of what this article is suggesting were true, why wouldn’t Temu use their 1337 hacker skills to steal money outright rather than disguising it as a shopping app?

I don’t believe his claims without evidence, but having a legit cover for nefarious acts is pretty standard, no?
I guess, but what I was trying to get at is that the claims they’re making are so fantastical that the cover wouldn’t be necessary.
Why steal their money when they can both get them to give their money as well data to also sell?
